I LOVE cucumber Water and was wondering if anyone knew of any limitations for this for the pre-op liquid diet? ?? It's actually an infuser where you put the fresh cucumber in the water bottle. Very refreshing!

I'd be willing to say that, this shouldn't be an issue at all, unless you plan on eating the cucumber. But just infusing, I wouldn't figure that to be an issue at all. Obviously clear it with your team... but, you shou

It is very refreshing. Just be careful of the seeds if you infuse.

Cucumber Water is a great idea. I’m going to try it. I’m on day 2 of liquids and I’m on the struggle bus. Hungry, Headache, nausea.

Day 9 for me. The past few days have been so much better and easier. People are totally serious when they say it gets easier. You got this!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
